The GTX 970 is the best out of them all. You will be fine with the GTX 970 and when you SLI plus overclock, you will get blazing performance. GTX 970 are amazing overclockers.

GTX 970 all the way. The performance per dollar is staggering even with the memory issue,which doesnt really affect games(only a few games had the issue). 2 of those will surpass the Titan X at a cheaper pricetag

Looks to me like they didn't read your full post. At 2160p you want a 290x over a 970.

AMD won't be beaten @ 4k

For 4k gaming, honestly I'd skip both the gtx970 and 290x and go straight for a 295x2. Other than that, the 970 is the better all around gpu in your list.

Both of the cards cant sustain smooth framerates on 4K,
maybe an SLI setup/CF would do.

i don't want AMD
but i can SLI GTX 970

 

[jerdle]

you could, but the 970 is one of the worst cards to multi gpu with because of its flaws. If you don't want Radeon, that just leaves the GTX 980 for two cards.

GTX 970 SLI is almost on par with the R9 295x2 at 4k. The only thing holding you back right now is should you wait for the AMD R9 3xx series, or should you be concerned about how much power the R9 295x5 will take, and the price difference between GTX 970 SLI and R9 295x2.

 

[Sudeep Chavan]

yeah R9 295x2 in india is 45K from Newegg India.

Slight variations in core and memory clock speed

 

[Karadjgne]

Historically nvidia has ruled the lower resolutions and AMD rules the higher resolutions and when it comes to 4k gaming, the r9-295x2 is king. Even the titan X can't keep up with it. In a single gpu setup, there simply isn't any better card. So yes, it's worth the price.

And at 4k, the 3.5 honestly usable ram on a 970 hurts it. In some games it does ok, but in some, like WoW, even a 270x can beat it.

It also has a singular advantage over some setups. It's attached AIO cooler used in exhaust is a huge benefit to case temps especially on an air cooled cpu.

thats hard to beat....

as awesome as the 295x2 is in performance, its still very noisy and hot with its halfassed water cooler.

but that is very close in price too and that isn't counting the overclocking headroom that the gtx970 has. that 290x will barely overclock 100mhz over its stock clocks. the gtx970 should go 200mhz over and will still run much cooler and draw much less power.

its definitely a predicament. if you are not going to overclock, get the 290x. if you will, get the gtx970.

 

[Sudeep Chavan]

does GTX 970 perform good on 1080p

 

[learningbitbybit]

The GTX 970, will handle many games at ulta at 1080p no problem.

 

[Karadjgne]

The gtx970 rocks 1080p
